That, of course, is merely Johnstone's interpretation of what he constitutes a 'church' to be. There are many other interpretations of it-- I am not trying to convince you that it is objective, or the 'best' way of defining it; I am merely pointing out the etymology behind my usage of the word (although personally, using church in this context is something that makes perfect sense to me :) )

I like people who care for the linguistics and etymological roots of the words and concepts. Not only for showing off how cool you are for knowing all that crap but kinda trying to set a point about how crazily the cultural perception and conceptual contents have been evolved through daily usage and other probable effects.

Thinking about the word church that I only judged through my personal experience and knowledge of it which doesn't include any of the above mentioned disciplines, I always thought of it as a concept that has been given birth by Western civilizations (Yeah I know if you go West enough you will reach East but you dig me). Also e.g. PC game Fallout and same type of popular productions that included pop-culture references had non-Christian "church"es that looked exactly like Christian Cathedrals with Gothic architectural designs. I have never seen a Muslim temple/worshiping building ever called a "church" before. This leads us to a question of when it is smart to care for the etymological roots of the words in order to strengthen our point of views about the meaning we use them in. If there is no practical example of it we can hold on to, should we let it rot? Or should we give it a chance in a conversation we think it would have some degree of value? Why do we have languages anyway? Is the first aim of it is to make sense about what you think? Or should we praise a sacred status of the meaning of a form of letters that had a sacred meaning in an ancient time?

I just gave Linguistic exam and it sucked. I like linguistics and etymology though.

Wordsmith.org is a pretty good website which e-mails you words and their usage,etymology, their first use daily. you can subscribe to it.

All extremely interesting points-- that are not easily answered succinctly, but topics that would be very fun to talk about.

Cool man tanks.
 
I'm apostatizing from the cult, he didn't bring it tonight. Sure, he had a couple of moments, but he couldn't take the heat.

Better luck next time on that oral exam. Remember, women really appreciate a cunning linguist.
 
I don't expect good contribution from him statistically every night, but I love his skill set, especially his dribbling quickness and his tendency to keep a decent level of ball movement. He is a keeper.
 
I don't see why he needed no add new skills to his skill set. Like shooting. Fast dribbling and ball movement was enough for the team.
 
Nobody bumped this after the air-ball fest last night? Dude looked losssssst.

Daarn, i was hoping we had our own GarSanity in the wings, but it looks like he's just a moderately talented guard with a few deep dark holes in his game. More specifically, I think he can do a lot of cool things a little bit, but as soon as players figure him out, he doesn't have a backup plan. He had his good game, he got scouted, and now he is in a pinch. Good news is that he's young, so there is still time. I guarantee that I would rather have him as the third point guard than I would Lucas any day of the century. (perhaps not the second guard, gotta get Neto over here)
 
Okay. I cannot handle Diante right now.




Lucas deserves DNP-CDs for the rest of the season.
